Opera Mini

A faster browser for your Android device

Opera Mini is an Internet browser that uses Opera servers to compress websites in order to load them more quickly, which is also useful for saving money on your data plan (if you are using 3G).

Even though Opera Mini's interface is not particularly pretty or elegant, it compensates for this by offering some interesting features and a superb usability. You can easily zoom in by pinching the screen, and several tactile shortcuts make browsing much easier.

Thanks to the Opera Link service, you can synchronize your bookmarks, shortcuts, and general settings so they are the same on your desktop computer and on your mobile device, which is very useful for those who move around often.

Opera Mini also comes with automatic support for social networks like Twitter and Facebook. Thanks to this, you can use them much more easily and quickly. You can also download any type of file without trouble and save it to your device's memory.

Opera Mini is a wonderful alternative for web browsing on an Android device. It has everything you need to make browsing a fluid, fast, and pleasurable experience.

Here are some of the most popular and efficient ones available (plus a tool to create your own lite apps as a bonus).
